Chapter 1312 - Dung (4) (2/2)

As Dyon analyzed the energy, he tried his best to distract his mind from the reality of the situation. Oddly enough, the beast dung told him quite a bit about the world he was in.

By common sense, feces shouldn't have so much energy in it. In fact, a beast as powerful as the one Dyon encountered should have transcended the needed to use something as primitive as bowel movements.

As far as Dyon knew, and experienced himself, after tempering your organs during the 5th and 6th foundation stages, there was no longer a need for such things. Of course, if one takes the body path, the requirements are similar.

So, there were two oddities here. First of all, a beast of that caliber should have long since passed such a stage. And secondly, even if Dyon ignored that, the point of bowel movements was to get rid of waste after taking all of the energy from your nutrients.

Knowing this, why would this beast dung have so much energy?

The answer was simple. There wasn't just one kind of energy in the martial world. In fact, there were countless kinds.

In a place where there wasn't any sign of true cultivation as far as Dyon could tell from his divine sense, beasts likely used eating as a form of not only gaining sustenance, but also training. This meant that whatever waste the beast excreted were simply forms of energy it didn't need.

The good thing for Dyon was that the beast was far more powerful than he was. While Dyon needed essence energy equivalents, or at least something as docile as essence energy, what this beast needed was likely something far higher on the food chain.

From what Dyon could tell, there wasn't any readily available soul energy, but that was to be expected. However, what was curious was that there were multiple forms of energy he didn't recognize at all.

In the end, Dyon had no choice but to simply use his instincts. Choosing a mishmash of energy was likely not a very good idea, especially when he didn't understand any of them very well, so he could only test them one by one, allowing them to slowly enter his body before checking their characteristics.

Some of the energies were extremely fluid and light, allowing quick usage. But, because of that they lacked a certain punch to them. It seemed that they would be incredibly useful for cultivators who emphasized speed and piercing power, but not so much strength or defense.

There were other energies that were incredibly violent, so much so that Dyon was worried his meridians might burst. These were likely useful for those individuals who emphasized explosive attacks, but it was terrible for stamina and defense-oriented individuals.

Still yet there were solid, thick and slow flowing energies that very much reminded Dyon of what happened due to his silver mirror constitution. They were perfect for those exact stamina and defense types.

Dyon was almost overwhelmed by the new world he had entered. Just what had happened to all of these energies? Why could they exist here while his own world only had access to the conventional, balanced path?
